hennessy = Conception – BABIES DOWN, BOTTLES UP

Episode 107 is an in-house episode, which means Danny is bringing the clips and Kisha, Terrin, and Josselyn have plenty to say about them.The crew gets into a viral custody dispute after a dad sends his girlfriend to drop off his kids while their mom is out of town, then tackles a complicated surrogacy case involving a serious fetal diagnosis, a termination agreement, and a surrogate who refuses to follow through. That conversation opens up a larger discussion about disability, how quickly people place limits on the lives of disabled children, and what prospective parents should be prepared to accept when choosing to have a child.Things lighten up with kids talking back, profanity, and figuring out where parents draw the line between allowing children to express themselves and teaching them when, where, and how certain language is appropriate. Then the conversation turns serious again when a blind mom shares an uncomfortable Uber ride with her daughter. The crew breaks down rideshare safety, invasive questions about blindness, drivers touching or moving children without permission, where blind parents should sit in the vehicle, and why trusting your gut can matter when something about a situation feels wrong.They close with a difficult family situation involving a seven-year-old grieving the sudden death of his father, continued contact with his younger sibling and his father's former girlfriend, and the discovery that she has already moved a new boyfriend into the home. How soon is too soon, what does the child's mother deserve to know, and whose needs should be driving these decisions while a child is still processing the loss of a parent?Somehow, Hennessy conception stories, expensive white canes, TSA drama, tequila lemonade, and the possibility of being haunted by your dead boyfriend also make their way into the conversation. Because apparently Episode 107 had room for all of it.Purchase our Blind Parenting Bundle:Take the systems built by blind parents to make your life easier and set your family up for success.https://bdbushop.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/babiesdownbottlesupEmail us: info@bdbupod.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/babiesdownbottlesupTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@babies_down_bottles_upX: https://x.com/bdbupodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bdbu_pod
